Chapter 172: The Dust of History

readx;? Growing up too fast?

There was a hint of weirdness in the words themselves, and everyone couldn't answer, and they continued to look at Shen Kun intentionally or unintentionally. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

I only heard that Shen Kun suddenly came to a divine turn, "Old village chief, I wonder if there are any legends in the history of your village?"

The village chief of Gaoling and the other three clan elders all showed a trace of shock, and they were clearly captured by Dongfang Yu and others, and they couldn't help but secretly think that this magic stick really had two hits.

At this time, the inner thoughts of several village elders were actually similar to theirs, and they all felt that although these immortal masters were young, they had extraordinary knowledge, and they could actually associate that legend. Could it be that this is the immortal who has a long lifespan deliberately manifests his youthful appearance, and he can't help but be in awe.

The village chief of Gaoling showed a wry smile and said, "It's really unfilial piety, there is a common legend among our four clans, that is, we live here to keep a secret. But sadly, we have forgotten what the secret is. ā€

Dongfang Yu and the four of them all looked at each other in shock.

These people's mission is to keep a secret here, and they remember the mission, but they forget the specifics of the mission.

Shen Kun scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and asked, "Don't you remember any clues?"

There is no need to answer at all, their expressions speak for themselves.

Dongfang Yu suddenly remembered his hometown in his previous life, there was also a "forbidden land" in a small village of only about 130 households, and children were never allowed to enter. But how did the adults know that they had been secretly going there countless times a long time ago. Even roasting bud rice, burning grasshoppers, baking sweet potatoes, and stealing the incomparably expensive dried melon wine of adults, which is often the only one person in every family is willing to exchange grain for expensive things.

So Dongfang Yu asked as if unintentionally: "Village chief, are there any historical sites in the village?" such as the ancestral hall and ancestral house. ā€

The old village chief raised his head a little strangely and said, "Of course there is, that ancestral hall has been repaired for many years, and it can be regarded as a historic site." ā€

Shen Kun's eyes lit up, and he looked at Dongfang Yu with admiration: "Village Chief, we have to go in and have a look." ā€

In order to avoid trouble, he didn't use a negotiating tone at all, and said it very absolutely.

Unexpectedly, the village chief was very hesitant, could it be that compared with the lives of the villagers, could they still take care of any taboos? The four people actually argued in front of the guests, and one of them said sternly: "There is a clear prohibition in the clan, which strictly prohibits outsiders from entering the ancestral hall, and in fact, since ancient times, no outsiders have ever entered this ancestral hall." ā€

A gray-haired old man suddenly said: "No, no, there is such a sentence in the clan rules, unless the village suffers a catastrophe." ā€

"Is it a catastrophe now?"

"Of course, nine months, nearly 100 people, how many of us are there in total?"

After some arguing, they finally reached an agreement, and the village chief asked, "How many immortal elders do you want to rest?"

Shen Kun immediately stood up, and Nangong Zhou said, "Village Chief, please arrange a clean place for them to live." ā€

As soon as a few beauties wanted to say something, Shen Kun immediately said: "That's the yin of the yang again, you can't go." ā€

After that, an old man took six beautiful women to arrange a place to stay, while Dongfang Yu and the others followed them to the back of the village.

Approaching the outskirts of the village, there is a clear land of righteousness, which is quite extensive, and some of the graves are about to disappear. The further you go in, the older the tombstone becomes, and the older it becomes.

In the very center, there is a formal courtyard composed of four stone carved demon beasts separated from each other, and there is no courtyard wall and courtyard gate. Artemisia grass is waist-high, and it is clear that this is not the time for worship.

In the center of the courtyard is a large stone tripod, which actually serves as an incense burner. This tripod system is extremely ancient, four-shaped. On each side is carved a statue of a human being, which looks like a stonemason, an arithmetic, a carpenter, and a goldsmith and silversmith. They were working, and their names were written in the lower left corner, which turned out to be the ancestors of the four surnames.

Directly in front of the stone tripod is the ancestral hall, which is built of fine bluestone, which can be said to be majestic compared to a village. It is about 70 meters long, 30 meters wide and more than 6 meters high. A pair of wooden doors were obviously replaced later, and they are far from the original building in terms of momentum.

When Dongfang Yu and the others observed, the old people had finished their worship in front of Shiding, and when they opened the wooden door, they were greeted by a damp breath. None of them came near, but waited patiently for about a moment before lighting the candle and entering.

The ancestral hall can be described as empty, with only four statues of the ancestors, raising their eyebrows and raising their eyes, lifelike.

Nangong Zhou thought that the candle flame was flickering, and he sacrificed a night pearl, which suddenly illuminated the ancestral hall. Only then did everyone find out that three sides of the ancestral hall were carved on the wall.

The mural begins with a battle between a man and a beast, a man who is tall and majestic, muscular, hairy, shirtless, holding a double-edged axe, soaring through the air and slashing vigorously.

The monster beast was even more amazing, with a human head and a sheep's body, a pair of huge backward antelope horns on its head, prominent round eyes, exposed fangs, and four human hands at the end of its limbs instead of hooves and claws.

The orc stood and fought, each with a fierce eye under the armpits of each of its forelimbs. This seems to be gluttony, and Chaos, Qiqi, and Han Qi are called the four murderers of ancient times. It is the strongest demon beast in the world with devouring attributes.

In the second mural, ****** has turned enemies into friends. They joined forces to conquer the four directions, and large swaths of humans and monsters prostrate at their feet to show their submission.

The third painting began to be weird, the human and the demon beast actually fought again, but this time, it was their spirits who fought. One man and one demon stood still, their spirits fighting and devouring frantically. It is impossible to determine who the final victor was, but the victorious spirit chose the human god body and resolutely devoured the gluttonous body. Eventually, he became a three-eyed giant with a pair of exaggerated antelope horns on top of his head.

From the fourth painting onwards, there are some similarities, each one seems to be the giant devouring a strong man, there are humans, there are demon beasts, and even a dragon. Whenever he devoured a strong man, he would slaughter the opponent's people, and the blood would flow thousands of miles, and it would be unbearable.

The penultimate pair is very vividly depicted of the giant stroking his belly with his hands on his belly, as if he was hungry and about to starve to death. And the people who followed him were full of fear and worry, and there was nothing they could do.

The penultimate painting makes everyone have to admire the judgment of this kid Shenkun. If it weren't for the fact that he had revealed the mystery before, it would not have been easy for people to see what this was for, and now it was clear that his men were building a lavish tomb for him.

The tomb is densely covered with dolls, as dense as the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang. And in the middle of these figurines, a huge space was reserved, which was just enough for the giant to lie comfortably.

Unusually, all of these figurines have three eyes, including a vertical eye between their foreheads, and all of them have antelope horns on the top of their heads.

At the time of the last painting, it had been turned into a mausoleum, and although it was not very high, it was not as unrecognizable as it is now. Four slightly taller craftsmen are building a village with a large number of clansmen, and it is obvious that this is the village.

These murals were completed in one go, Dongfang Yu thought to himself, this seems to have made the whole story clear, isn't this a secret that they want to keep?

Dongfang Yu, who couldn't guess why, couldn't help but look at Shen Kun, and then he suddenly found that Shen Kun, Long Qi and Nangong Zhou all opened their mouths slightly, and there was a sound. Judging by the looks on their faces, it was clear that they knew more than they did. So much so that I was deeply shocked.
