Silent.

After a few seconds, Jiang Xian said, "I promise you, but not now." But I promise to put your remains there. ”

"Good...... Good ......" Buda's old eyes were cloudy, and he looked at the top of the cave intently, and said leisurely for a long time: "Do you believe it...... Is there an elixir of immortality? ”

Jiang Xian nodded.

Buda's eyes lit up, as if he had finally found his soulmate. Blood flowed out of her mouth, making her look extremely hideous, but her expression was extremely excited: "I was born here...... Then...... cough cough cough ...... It was 1884. ”

1884...... Jiang Xian was stunned, and then looked at the other party in amazement: "Ten years of Guangxu? ”

She...... Lived for more than a hundred years?

Buda cracked his bloody mouth, smiled, and nodded slightly.

"Our village...... I've always been in retreat. In 1884, I, Atayal, Ami, Aen, and Zhu Ou were born at the same time. We...... Born in the last breath of the mountain god playing the drums. The old priest said that we were the children of the mountain god and would bring blessings to the village, so for the first time in thousands of years, five sacrifices were erected. Tell us...... After that, the sacrifice was performed by the five of us. ”

People are dying, and her words are good, and her voice softened. I can't see the ferocity of ten minutes ago at all, and it is no different from that of an ordinary old man when he is dying. She even had a smile on her face: "We are the best sisters, we have grown up since childhood. Until...... Until we were eighteen years old. ”

"The Grass Ghost Woman will choose a natal Gu at the age of eighteen, but this natal Gu will not appear by waiting for it to appear. That's what you need to travel, first I go, then Ami, Aen...... In the end, Zhu Ou went out with me......"

Her voice suddenly became fluent, although there was still a slight gasp: "We have been out for the longest time, we have seen the fall of the Qing government, and we have also seen the birth of the Republic of China...... One day, Zhu Ou suddenly asked me, can I block the bullet? ”

A trace of bitterness appeared on her face, and she shook her head, as if saying to herself: "Naturally, you can't...... It was then that I realized that, like me, Zhu Ou had questioned our way of living for thousands of years. ”

"The world is changing at a rapid pace...... Steam trains, foreign guns and cannons...... A steel steamer that can walk on the sea...... In contrast, our village is simply terrible backward...... We traveled outside for a long time, from eighteen to twenty-eight...... and then at the age of thirty-eight...... The last year is over half a hundred. ”

"When you find the Natal Gu, you should be happy. But I couldn't be happier...... Because we know that this is the beginning of fate...... But we don't want to accept this fate anymore! ”

The memories of the past, the true feelings that Buda hid, are so thick that you can almost read them in your eyes.

In a person's life, whether good or evil, there are too many splendid memories, which are deeply buried like autumn leaves. But when you look for them, you can always find their brilliance from under the layers of fallen leaves. So he held it in the palm of his hand, reflected the past in the present, and lamented the impermanence of life.

Buda's wrinkled face unfolded: "At that time, the land of China, the army was rising, and the heroes were divided, even if we didn't want to accept fate, we had to return to the village. ”

"When I returned, the old priest had passed away...... She lived to be one hundred and fifty-three years old. Atayal, Aen, and Ami became the new sacrifices. They were glad we were back and took us here and we finally saw ...... That secret that has been sealed in the dust for more than 2,000 years! ”

Her voice trembled slightly, and her breath became short: "That's unimaginably great!" The first moment I saw it, I had only one thought: this kind of thing can be guarded by our small race? We...... Is it really worthy? ”

"What's that?" Jiang Xian finally spoke.

Buda's cloudy eyes looked at him, and he suddenly smiled, and his big cracked mouth was filled with blood and mutilated teeth: "It's a secret...... Say it, and it won't work......"

"Anyway...... You'll find out ...... right away."

She turned her head, no longer looked at Jiang Xian, and continued: "The three of them told us about the true inheritance of the ethnic group: it turns out that we have avoided trouble and hid here since the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Fujian and Vietnam expeditions. At that time, the Huo family was only one of our foreigners. However, in the Han Dynasty, there were many gate valves, and the Huo family was in a cold place at that time, so he chose to believe that we had no heels. ”

He knew very well that our ancestors were not literate and would not have as many eyes as the Han people at that time. Whoever is good to us, we will pay it back double. I have to say...... This is a very simple technique, however, it makes our people who have avoided trouble in Wancheng grateful to Dade...... In the three generations of the Huo family, they have completely subdued our family...... It is precisely because of this that these things left by the Huo family did not look for Han people, but ...... Found us! ”

Jiang Xian nodded silently. Indeed, the Huo family has not been rich for the third generation, and Huo Quai's grandson Huo Yun Huoshan was killed by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty because of the rebellion. At that time, the whole dynasty was full of enemies, the glory of the ancestors had dispersed, Huo Qu died too early, and he had too little time in Luoyang, and he had not had time to pave enough connections for his children and grandchildren, otherwise, with Huo Qu's credit for sealing the wolf Juxu, if he lived a little longer, Huo Yun Huoshan would probably not be Ling Chi, but would be imprisoned forever.

In that case, Huo Yun Huoshan and the only people they could trust were the Gaoshan people who they pulled up single-handedly, and they didn't even have any other choice.

Buda closed his eyes and said hoarsely: "This guard is two thousand years...... It's been more than 2,000 years...... None of our tribe broke their word and silently guarded this shocking secret for them...... Until there were two rebellions, me and Zhu Ou. ”

Her voice trembled violently, she opened her eyes and looked directly at Jiang Xian: "The world is changing, and the new China Kingdom has been established...... The day the ID card system was rolled out, I knew we couldn't hide. ”

"Zhu Ou and I began to reach out to the township government, however, Atayal and the others took our actions as a symbol of betrayal! Can't she feel it? Everyone can see the existence of the world on TV! The network has also been laid into the duck col in 14 years! How much longer can we stop? ”

"Young people are going out! They are not like us! They yearn for the outside world! They don't want to live like us with their backs to the loess! Over the past 100 years, the world has changed the fastest in more than 100 years! All of the old system has been swept into the dustbin by almost all of us...... How long can it last! ”

Her voice was a little sharp, as if she was scolding the three Atayal who had long since died. It seems that she wants to shout her dream to the world before she dies, even if she is just an old monster who has lived for more than a hundred years, even if she is just one of the sacrifices of a small tribe born in the mountains.

Her voice narrowed, her face began to turn gray, and the time for her return to light had passed, and it was as if she had seen death coming towards her. However, her breath was not chaotic, but said calmly: "Zhu Ou and I had a meeting with them to discuss the future development of the village, and the final result was a happy breakup. I've known it ever since...... We're not close friends anymore......"

There was sadness in his voice, but there was a kind of firmness hidden. She continued: "Zhu Ou and I decided to let time tell them right and wrong, so ...... When the exploration team came, they said to do it, and we followed suit. Maybe we can't stop them, but ...... The torrent of the times, they can't resist it at all! ”

"When the whole village thinks about change and no one wants to stay here anymore, who will guard this mountain god?"

Her shriveled mouth cracked: "At that time...... That's when we come out of the government tray, I believe...... We can afford to wait...... After all, when the new sacrifice is made at the time of the first sacrifice, the mountain god will send something...... It's a dried kernel, and if you drink from it, you can live a long life, this ...... That's what you're looking for, right? ”

She looked at Jiang Xian with a smile: "Young man, I see the dead breath on your face...... Extremely rich death, this thing may be able to save you ......"

Before she could finish her life, she suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. His face became even more gray, and he raised his hand tremblingly, and his body was like a faded oil painting—losing the color of life, dyed with the gray silence of death.

Her eyes looked at Jiang Xian, and her lips trembled: "I...... Wrong...... Is it so? ”

Jiang Xian shook his head.

A grass ghost woman who came out of the deep mountains, with her own inheritance and her own tribe that lasted for two thousand years, can actually realize this. It's true...... Valuable.

"The only thing that can change people is the environment." He thought about it, but still said: "Ata, they are too close, so their eyes are too close." The farther you go, the farther you see. Pity...... You shouldn't have done anything to the exploration team. ”

"You know what? The exploration team in the early 60's was not fully equipped, and even if you let them in, they would never find anything. But...... You guys got their hands dirty. It's your compromise with Atayal. However, it is because of your actions that this place is marked as 003. ”

"You've killed more than forty people, haven't you...... For those who have not practiced martial arts, the grass ghost woman can be called unpredictable. But it is because of the number 003 that we are here today. ”

Buda wrinkled and trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Xian got closer and said in a deep voice: "You ask me, do I believe in immortality." I said the letter. Then I ask you, do you believe in karma or not? ”

Buda lowered his eyes for a long time before he squeezed a word out of his lips: "Faith." ”

There is a god three feet above his head, his eyes are like electricity, and the dark room is sad.

"I'm dying...... she raised her eyes to look at Jiang Xian: "Sir...... The old woman will ask you one more thing......"

"Say."

"If you ...... Can you unlock the curse here......" Her wheezing became more and more rapid, and her belly bulged desperately: "Then please ask the township government...... Lead the villagers...... Poverty alleviation and prosperity ......"

"We ...... Can't be stuck here anymore...... Huo Jiaen, let's ask ourselves...... Worthy of my heart......"

Jiang Xian nodded: "Okay." ”

Smack...... Buda's hand softened, and this good word seemed to drain the strength of her whole body. Like a guilty prisoner, she heard the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, and with a satisfied smile on her face, she said hoarsely: "Turn the jewel in the hand of the sculpture to open this ......."

"Remember, inside...... Be careful! There...... It's the underworld! Not human at all...... Where to go! ”

"Beware...... 'Mountain God'!"

After saying these two sentences, she closed her eyes and said with a smile: "Buda...... Ann, Atayal, Zhu Ou...... I'm here too......"

"We ...... It's time to be reunited again......"

She had no breath anymore.

Jiang Xian sighed, then took a few deep breaths, and looked at the orb in the sculpture's hand with burning eyes.

That...... Let me take a look at what the secret that the Huo family has been desperately guarding for more than 2,000 years!
