[248] The legend
The moonlight is like water, flowing in the quiet mountain village.
Mo Yan borrowed an office from the village committee and never went out, not even dinner. At his level, although he can't completely open the valley, there is no problem if he doesn't sleep for a few nights or eat for a few days.
When night fell, he closed the curtains in his office and practiced quietly.
It wasn't until the middle of the moon that he walked out of the door, jumped onto the roof, and looked at the endless gourd mountain......
During the day, he found that the entire gourd mountain was filled with a faint layer of yin qi. However, due to the strong sunlight, these yin qi are suppressed under the canopy.
Heaven and earth have yin and yang, and wherever there is no sunshine for a long time, yin is prone to appear, which is nothing strange. For example, in places such as manholes, caves, and tombs, there is often a build-up of yin qi. If ordinary people stay in it for a long time, they will have all kinds of uncomfortable symptoms on their bodies, and even more serious ones, they will even die violently because of this.
Mo Yan lives at the foot of Hulu Mountain, and at night, he occasionally looks at qi with his heart.
Every time at this time, he could see in the vision of his heart eye that the Yin Qi of Hulu Mountain in the night was much stronger than in other places. But again, there is yin and yang in heaven and earth, and it is normal for a forest park like Hulu Mountain, which has almost never been cut down, to have a strong yin atmosphere. If the yin qi is sparse or there is no yin qi at all, that is the biggest abnormality. Because this means that the yin and yang in the world have been out of balance, and there will be drastic changes in heaven and earth.
All in all, yin and yang balance is the norm in this world.
However, in Hulu Mountain during the day today, under the condition of direct sunlight, such a large area of yin qi can still appear, which is extremely abnormal.
Mo Yan stood on the roof and opened his eyes. Looking at the gourd mountain in the night......
Compared with the daytime, the yin qi in the gourd mountain is more intense, without the suppression of the sun, the yin qi rising from the ground has risen to the canopy, rolling and rolling, enveloping the entire gourd mountain!
At this level, if the flesh is a little weaker, stay in the woods for two or three hours. If you turn back, you will inevitably get seriously ill. Even young and vigorous young men, if they stay too long, they will inevitably end up with a cold and fever. More severely, it can even trigger some chronic diseases. For example, rheumatism, cold stomach, etc......
"What caused such a large area of yin qi?"
Mo Yan frowned slightly, then remembered something, and immediately turned around to look in the direction of Wanling City.
Wanling City at night looks very normal. Although there is also yin qi permeating, it is within the normal range......
Generally speaking. There is only one possibility for the Yin Qi to spread over a large area, and that is the change of terrain, causing the Yin Qi to accumulate underground to erupt from the fission cracks.
In other words, this large area of yin qi is actually a sign before the earthquake.
But this is clearly not the case. Hulushan and Wanling urban areas are basically the same area, if there is really going to be an earthquake. The yin qi in the sky above Wanling City could not be so thin.
"It seems that it is still Hulushan's own problem......" Mo Yan was a little relieved, no matter how indifferent he was, he didn't want to see the place where he lived turn into ruins.
"Could it be related to Yunluo Dao Palace? According to Ma Tianxing, this Dao Palace sank into the ground thousands of years ago, could it be ...... Is this a sign before the Dao Palace appears? ”
Mo Yan didn't know much about Yunluo Dao Palace. He could only speculate slightly, but he could not draw a definite conclusion.
After watching the weather in Hulu Mountain. He focused his attention on Du Que......
At this time, it was past midnight, and in the evening, after Du Que stayed in the small hotel, he stayed in the room and did not go out.
However, Mo Yan believed that since this old man chose to stay in Baishui Village, he must have his intentions.
"No matter what his plans are, I just have to keep an eye on him......" Mo Yan sat down cross-legged on the roof, paying attention to Du Que's whereabouts while doing his exercises.
About half an hour, Du Que quietly left the small hotel and walked towards Jiang Dayong's courtyard.
Mo Yan smiled slightly, immediately jumped off the roof, and embellished himself......
In the night, Jiang Dayong's courtyard was dark.
But if someone climbs over the courtyard wall, they will find that there is a glimmer of light flowing out of the bedroom window on the left side of the courtyard......
In the bedroom, Jiang Changshui had a strange smile on his face, moved the bed close to the wall, and dug hard in the corner with a small shovel.
The cement slurry that has not yet dried completely in the corners of the wall shows that it has been hollowed out in the first place.
After a short time, Jiang Changshui chiseled the cement on the corner of the wall, and then pulled out the bricks one by one.
The next moment, he sighed happily, with an excited smile on his face, and put his hand into the hole in the wall......
After digging in the hole in the wall for a while, Jiang Changshui took out a few inconspicuous black stones, held them in his palm like a treasure, and said in a trembling voice: "Gold, gold, what beautiful gold...... Uncle Dayong, it's really time for you to die, and now, your house and gold are mine! ”
"No, no, it's not just that...... And the golden cave, it's all mine now! ”
"Uncle Dayong, how do you say I should thank you!"
"It's good to die, Uncle Dayong, your death is so good, it's too timely. To tell you the truth, even if you don't die now, I'll kill you in a few days! The golden cave was obviously discovered by the two of us, but you have to hide all the gold here with you, saying that you will save it for me to marry a daughter-in-law in the future! Bah, it's a golden hole, just dig a few pieces of gold and exchange them for money, what kind of daughter-in-law can't marry, do you still need to save? Uncle Dayong, you obviously want to swallow it alone, you black-hearted dead ghost! ”
Jiang Changshui was holding a few black stones, muttering to himself, the smile on his face was extremely weird!
At this time, even a three-year-old child here can recognize that what he is holding in his hand is a few ordinary stones that can no longer be ordinary, and where is the gold!
…… Outside the window, Du Que was lying on the windowsill like a raccoon cat, and he looked at Jiang Changshui who had fallen into a nervous state in the room through the gap in the curtain, his face was quite ugly.
During the day, he found that Jiang Changshui had resentment attached to his body, and he suspected in his heart that this young man, like Jiang Dayong, was possessed by some kind of evil thing.
And now it seems. Jiang Changshui was not only possessed by resentment, but even his consciousness was eroded by this resentment.
If you stand by and ignore it, in two days at most, this young man will follow in the footsteps of Jiang Dayong and die a miserable death!
Generally speaking, as a descendant of the Dao Sect, it is naturally opposed to the evil things. Normal. Du Que will most likely take action to expel the yin and evil on Jiang Changshui's body. This has nothing to do with good or evil, but only with a conceptual necessity. It's like when the house is dirty, people will pick up a broom and clean it up. For the descendants of the Daomen. This kind of yin and evil qi is a kind of filth, and if it is ignored, the heaven and earth, which are already depleted of spiritual energy, will become even more filthy. This is unbearable for them.
But at this moment, he didn't have the slightest idea of making a move.
For Du Que. It doesn't matter whether Jiang Changshui is dead or alive, the important thing is to figure out where the source of resentment and evil qi is? Because this is related to whether he can enter the Yunluo Dao Palace and whether he can get the coveted Dan Book!
In the bedroom, Jiang Changshui held the 'gold' and smirked for more than ten minutes, but then he was shocked. He muttered to himself, "No, that golden cave is too close to the village. I don't know when someone will find out, and I'll have to dig up all the gold sooner...... Yes, go now, and when all the gold is dug up, I'll sell it and fly away. Go to the big city and enjoy it! Hey, Uncle Yong. You're so good that you died in such a timely manner! ”
He giggled, then shoved the 'gold' into the hole in the wall and blocked it with bricks.
…… Twenty minutes later, Jiang Changshui sneakily left Baishui Village carrying a large leather bag containing shovels and other tools.
Du Que immediately followed, with his cultivation, even if it was attached to the back of Jiang Changshui's neck, he didn't have to worry about being discovered.
What's more, Jiang Changshui's mind has been eroded at this time, and his alertness and sanity have dropped to the lowest point......
The so-called praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, when Du Que followed Jiang Changshui to Hulu Mountain, he didn't know that about a hundred meters behind him, there were also people tightly embellished.
The scene that happened in the bedroom, Mo Yan also 'looked' in his eyes.
He was also quite curious about this.
It can be said that even if there is no factor of Du Que, he will choose to follow Jiang Changshui and find out about this matter.
In the night, the three of them went to the depths of Hulu Mountain.
Jiang Changshui is just an ordinary person, walking through the deep mountains and dense forests, and it is dark night, and its difficulties can be imagined.
But at this time, he was already confused, and with a flashlight, he walked forward vigorously, allowing the branches and shrubs to tear his clothes, and even cut the bloody holes, but he did not know the pain and tiredness at all.
About an hour later, Jiang Changshui left the mountain road and walked down the slope to a valley.
There was no path at all, and he climbed down the slope with a rolling belt, but he accidentally broke his foot, but he had no intention of giving up, and limped into the valley.
The valley is littered with rubble, and the occasional broken brick and tile of unknown age suggests that this is likely to be a site that has been submerged in history......
However, as the history professor who chatted with Mo Yan during the day said, Hulu Mountain was not a nameless place, and thousands of years ago, the cultural scenery here was very prosperous. If it weren't for the great earthquake more than 700 years ago, this would have been an ancient cultural attraction.
Jiang Changshui walked tirelessly forward, and after crossing most of the valley, he finally stopped.
He stood there gasping for breath, looking at a hole in front of him that was hidden by weeds and vines, and a weird giggle came out of his face!
In fact, it is already quite a long way from Whitewater Village, and it is also very hidden, so it is not very likely to be discovered. However, Jiang Changshui's mind has been eroded, and his mind is filled with illusory 'gold', so he must dig up all the gold here before he is willing to rest......
After taking a few breaths, he reached out to remove the weeds and vines in front of the cave and stooped inside.
Du Que couldn't help but hesitate a little when he saw Jiang Changshui walk into the cave......
He followed Jiang Changshui to verify a guess in his heart, but when the answer seemed to be within reach, a new question was placed in front of him.
If this so-called answer does not match your own guess, it is naturally best.
But if the answer is exactly what you are worried about, wouldn't this be tantamount to throwing yourself into the net?
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger's ......"
After Du Que hesitated for a moment, he finally made up his mind and muttered, "This place is twenty or thirty miles away from Yunluo Dao Palace, so there shouldn't be anything involved......
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, brushed aside the weeds and vines, and bent down into the hole.
A minute later, Mo Yan slowly walked away.
He heard all the words that Du Que said to himself just now......
"Is Yunluo Dao Palace still twenty or thirty miles away from here? Hehe, old man, you are not only here for the Danshu, but also know the specific location of the Dao Palace, it is in vain that I have been staring at you for so long. ”
Hidden in the valley, this cave is naturally generated, with a slightly smaller entrance, but the interior is spacious enough for three or four people to walk side by side.
Jiang Changshui flashed a flashlight and couldn't wait to walk deeper into the cave.
The further you walked in, the lower the temperature became, and after a while, Jiang Changshui's exhaled breath condensed into a clump of white mist.
But he still didn't know it, he didn't feel cold at all, he just walked forward vigorously.
Du Que followed behind him, and the more he walked in, the more ugly his face became.
For him, the sudden drop in temperature was nothing, and what really worried him was that the deeper he went into the cave, the more dense the yin qi became. Compared to the Yin Qi outside the cave, the concentration here is at least ten times higher, and as the footsteps go deeper, the concentration continues to rise......
What's even worse is that the yin qi here is not pure, but mixed with the slightest trace of evil.
At this time, he didn't dare to follow too closely, but deliberately slowed down.
It wasn't until there was a sound of chiseling against the stone wall in front of him and Jiang Changshui's silly laughter that he walked over slowly......
The place where Jiang Changshui stayed was already the end of the cave.
He lay on the ground, holding a chisel and a hammer, and chiseled and struck the stone wall with all his might.
Under the blow of the chisel, pieces of black stones rolled to the ground......
Du Que looked at Jiang Changshui and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, with a slight pity in his eyes.
With this kind of strong yin and evil aura, even he has to use all his strength to ensure that he is not eroded, let alone Jiang Changshui, an ordinary person.
At this time, even if Du Que came to the rescue, Jiang Changshui would not live for a year.
"Except for the evil spirit, there doesn't seem to be anything strange here......"
Du Que looked at the cave, and his heart was a little calm.
But the next moment, his expression suddenly froze.
With Jiang Changshui's chiseling, a swarthy hole with a bowl mouth suddenly appeared on the stone wall!
Although the entrance of the cave is not big, it is cold and windy, and in the yin wind, there is a sharp and terrifying 'cry'......
This kind of sound can't be heard by human ears, like a night owl crying for a while, like a child's night cry for a while, and it falls in the depths of Du Que's consciousness!
"Oh no, that legend turned out to be true!"
Du Que's face changed drastically, and he used his whole body breath to protect his head, then turned around and rushed towards the entrance of the cave!
