Chapter 134: Life Sacrifice! (2 More Flowers)
Accompanied by Li Peng and other more than 20 villagers, Wu Zhengxie and his party of seven people marched to the rear, according to the previous rules, this place, except for the annual Qingming tomb sweeping can be entered, the rest of the time is not allowed to enter, this is the clan rule.
However, when Wu Zhengxie told them that they could find their patriarch, the entire village, all the villagers who could walk, came.
Originally, Wu Zhengxie wanted Yan Jing and the others to go back to H City first, but Yan Jing disagreed, she wanted to stay in this village and wait for Wu Zhengxie for three days, if Wu Zhengxie didn't come back in three days, then she would go back.
Yan Jing stayed, Wang Cheng and the others naturally wouldn't leave, in other words, the people here are much more comfortable than in the city, good food, good drink, good sleep, and the city can't enjoy such treatment, why not do it?
"My lord, this area is the forbidden land of our Li clan, and it is also the place where the elders of our clan will live in peace after their death. Li Peng came to Wu Zhengxi's side and said respectfully.
Wu Zhengxie glanced at the dense tombs in front of him, there was no fear or surprise in his eyes, he just nodded slightly, "The Li family also has a history of two or three hundred years, and it is not easy to keep the tomb of the old ancestor intact from generation to generation. ”
While speaking, Wu Zhengxi's eyes were not idle, and while scanning the entire cemetery, he pinched his fingers and counted something.
After a moment, Wu Zhengxie nodded and chuckled, "What a loyal servant." ”
When Yan Jing heard this, she immediately frowned lightly and asked suspiciously, "Good and evil, what do you see?"
Taking two steps forward, Wu Zhengxie pointed to the dense graves and said, "These tombs are actually exquisite," At this point, Wu Zhengxie looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was covered with clouds, and the surrounding mountains were majestic, as if he wanted to embrace this area in his arms.
"You see that the countless mountains around it are embracing each other, giving people a feeling of oppression, like a child standing in front of a tall Chengren, how similar that pressure is. ”
Wu Zhengxie chuckled proudly and pointed to the clouds in the sky, "If Master Ben is not wrong, the clouds in this sky should not disperse all year round, because it is not formed naturally, but is blessed by artificial formations to prevent the peeping of feng shui magicians. ”
Turning around, looking at Yan Jing and the others with serious faces, Wu Zhengxie chuckled again, "If Master Ben is not mistaken, the tomb of General Ming Zhou that they are guarding is in this big mountain in front of us, but it is hidden by people in formation, and ordinary people can't see it at all, and they can't find it."
As for these ancestral tombs of your Li clan, they are used to guard and provide nutrition. ”
"What do you mean?" Wang Hao couldn't help muttering when he heard this.
"Very simply, this cemetery is actually a rare feng shui cave, and the most rare thing is that this cave qi can be connected to the main tomb in the mountain. Wu Zhengxie exclaimed, "Come to think of it, this General Zhou was not a simple person back then, and after his death, there were Feng Shui strange people who found such a strange cave for him to keep his body from decaying for ten thousand years and his soul to be immortal."
He was the lord of an army during his lifetime, and he was also the overlord of the party after his death, admire! And the ancestors of your Li family, it can be said that they all became the soldiers and horses of this Zhou general after their deaths. ”
"My lord, what do you mean?" said Li Peng.
But Wu Zhengxie ignored him, "Master Ben doesn't understand, why be so persistent?"
"Aren't you looking for your patriarch?" Wu Zhengxie glanced at Li Peng and the villagers behind him, and walked straight towards the back of thousands of graves, "Come with me, the person who used money to accompany your patriarch is not ordinary, if Master Ben is not mistaken, he is the same as me, he is a cultivator, but his purpose is to enter General Zhou's tomb to do bad things, and Master Ben's purpose is to go in and arrest him." ”
Hearing this, Li Peng and the others immediately looked at each other, but seeing that Wu Zhengxie and his party of seven people were getting farther and farther, Li Peng and more than 20 villagers behind him also followed.
The deeper and deeper it went, layers of fog barriers appeared inside.
Through the layers of fog barriers, what appeared in front of him was a large single-tablet tomb.
"Li Peng, do you know that these graves are the ancestors of which generation of your ancestors in Hongcun?"
Wu Zhengxie stopped, Li Peng's face was solemn, and he looked at the two elderly people beside him, "Grandpa Zhong, Grandpa Hui, do you know?"
The two old men beside him both shook their heads, "Our Li clan has strict rules, and many things can only be known by the patriarch and the clan elders. ”
Li Peng sighed, "My lord, you have also heard, our Li clan only conducts the annual Qingming ancestor worship at the previous altar, and we have never been here. ”
"I'll tell you. Wu Zhengxie took a few steps forward and arrived in front of a tomb, "Here, there are at least more than two hundred tombs, although these tomb inscriptions are just a wooden tablet without anything written, but this master can sense from the aura here that these tombs do not completely belong to the ancestors of your Li clan, to be precise, the tomb here should be the tomb of the general surnamed Zhou back then." ”
Turning around, Wu Zhengxie looked at Li Peng and a few old men behind him, and nodded slightly, "Before, Master Ben said that the ancestor of your Li clan was a loyal servant, but there is actually a reason for this. ”
Catching up with the curious eyes of Yan Jing and the others, Wu Zhengxie continued, "Master Ben just glanced at the faces of your clansmen by the way, do you know what Master Ben has discovered?"
Shaking his head, who could have guessed what he had discovered?
"Master Ben found that the life patterns of all the clansmen of your Li clan have been cut off. ”
Hearing this, everyone, including Yan Jing and the six others, was nervous, "My lord, what do you mean by this?"
"Hehe, Li Peng, your Li clan has existed for hundreds of years, haven't you noticed it yourself?"
"What's wrong?"
"Lifespan!" Wu Zhengxi's tone was firm, "Master Ben dares to assert that none of you Li clan has lived past the age of seventy in the past few hundred years! including the two of you old men, one of you is sixty-eight years old this year, the other is sixty-nine years old, and seventy years old is your death date." ”
"After death, you are buried here, here, the extra life in your soul is equivalent to providing nourishment for the things in the mountain, think about it, this should be for the general surnamed Zhou to arrange this feng shui wonder of the person, so this master said that you are loyal slaves. ”
Hearing this, Li Peng and more than 20 other villagers all changed their faces drastically.
Suddenly, bursts of whispering and angry voices suddenly sounded in the crowd, Yan Jing's six people's faces also changed slightly after hearing this, they never dreamed that there would be such an evil thing in the world, and they would sacrifice the lives of future generations, which was extremely vicious.
The whispering continued, and finally, Li Peng bowed deeply to Wu Zhengxi, and said respectfully, "My lord, you are right, since the history of our Li clan, the lifespan of the clansmen has not exceeded seventy, and many of them died on the day of their birth at the age of seventy, so this seventy years old is also a big taboo in our clan." ”
"That's how Gu Xi passed away, right?" Wu Zhengxie glanced at Li Peng and the others with a smile, "This shows that you have also summed up something, but you don't want to admit it." ”
In fact, there are not no clansmen over the age of seventy in the Li clan of Suhong Village, and in the past few hundred years, the Li clan of Suhong Village has also summed up some things by themselves, including this age limit.
In their summary, all the children and grandchildren born of the combination of the men of the Li clan in Suhong Village and foreign women, regardless of men and women, cannot exceed the seventy limit, and women are different.
More than 100 years ago, there was a ninety-year-old patriarch in the history of Suhong Village, and the ninety-year-old patriarch was born from the combination of a martyred scholar in the Qing Dynasty and a woman in Suhong Village.
It is at the suggestion of the ninety-year-old patriarch that the 'VIP Ceremony' of Suhong Village will allow the young girl of fifteen to twenty years old in the village to enter the guest's room.
As soon as the dignitaries leave, the young girls who have no children must marry immediately, and in their small, backward villages that do not know DNA, they think that this method will avoid the fact that the children are their own fathers are confused.
And this bizarre VIP etiquette has continued until now, no one in the village is disgusted, on the contrary, the vast majority of girls are even more proud of it, because, once the life expectancy of one of the descendants exceeds the seventy limit, it is equivalent to breaking the 'curse' of the clan in the Li clan, and is regarded as the lucky god of the Li clan, and the status in the clan can be raised to the same height as the patriarch.
In this village, which is still bound by feudalism, people's ideals and goals are very short-sighted, and it can be said that breaking the curse of the clan has become the common goal of almost all the clansmen in the village.
"My lord," Li Peng's body trembled slightly, he was excited, he was extremely excited, and his eyes looking at Wu Zhengxie were even more fiery as if he were looking at the savior, "Since you can see the problem here, then I wonder if you can solve this problem for us? ”
Wu Zhengxie waved his hand to interrupt Li Peng's words, "Don't mention those first, this is the rule set by the ancestor of your Li clan, how can I, an outsider, change it casually?"
