Chapter 106: The Past Is Like Yesterday

Yun Dingxiang was just a hairy young man back then, how much he could remember, and what he could investigate was actually a big greeting, so although he said a lot of things back then, there were not many really valuable clues.

Then he talked about the history of the Nanzhao Kingdom, which roughly means that it is precisely because of the rise and fall of the Nanzhao Kingdom that the location of the Black Cloud Village is not set in stone, which explains why the ancient tombs we first encountered were on the periphery of the Black Cloud Village, and the current core area of the Black Cloud Village is located near Dagu Mountain.

Moreover, it is the existence of this barbarian tribe that has led to the integration of the Han civilization inherited by this Heiyun Village and the civilization of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom, precipitating such a unique Heiyun Village seen today. Heiyunzhai not only has the epitome of the Central Plains civilization, but also has traces of the closed and backward customs of ethnic minority areas, especially the characteristics of their Gu raising and monsters, which adds to the mystery.

Before I knew it, half an hour had passed. Yun Dingxiang finally said the words that he had been holding back for a long time, just as the so-called not vomiting and unhappy, he looked excited, his hands trembled slightly, and he was still in excitement.

Yu'er stayed by his side all the time, constantly rubbing her head against her master, as if trying to calm his emotions.

Tenzin was plotted by someone and was poisoned, and now he only has half a breath left. He leaned against the tree, half-asleep, and asked where we were. I told him to carry the three damn boxes up and to the designated place in a moment, and that was the end of the matter.

Tenzin was very excited, coughed for a long time, and spit out a mouthful of thick blood before he spoke: "Your great kindness, I will definitely repay it if I have the opportunity, cough cough, cough cough shock." The old man just now seemed to be a little familiar...... He...... Who is he? ”

"You should have seen this person, Shuizhai Teahouse......" I instructed.

"Oh! I remember! ”

"You've been tricked by the Gu."

"Superior! What the hell do you say about the Gu on my body? ”

"Your Gu is caused by the small fish in the village, cough cough, it seems that the person who instructed you to come is still an old friend."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm from Heiyun Village, so it's not surprising that I recognize Gu things."

"Sir, please save my life."

"I don't care if I can save you, after all, I won't solve this Gu poison."

"This ......"

"Forget it, say that time is running out, and we have to hurry up."

Tenzin nodded again and again and waved us to go.

Tossed for nearly half an hour. At this time, the mountain in the distance has revealed a faint glow.

I looked at my watch and said, "It's broken, there's about twenty minutes left." Let's hurry. ”

Yun Dingxiang said unhurriedly, "I haven't told half of the story I told just now, and now the ancestral hall on the mountain is long gone." ”

I was dumbfounded, I didn't expect such a terrible joke to be made at this last moment.

"Old man, don't scare me, what the hell is going on?"

"The madman village has long since disappeared, where to find him an ancestral hall now."

"The more I listened, the more confused I became." As soon as I heard this, my face changed suddenly.

"Come here, I have something to tell you." Yun Dingxiang asked me to help him go to the side of the container, I don't know what the old man meant, but I still did it.

Yun Dingxiang trembled and walked to the edge of the container, holding his knees with one hand and hanging on the oilcloth wrapped in the box with the other. He fumbled for a while and then asked me what the box looked like.

"I dismantled it once before, I don't know if it's the same as the others, I remember that it was a wooden box with black lacquer, the material was very strong, and the mouth of the box was sealed with steel nails, and I don't know much more about the situation."

Yun Dingxiang asked eagerly: "Are there any fish, are there any small fish?" ”

"Yes, yes, wax sealing fish ......"

"That's it, that's it." Yun Dingxiang's throat rolled up and down for a while. He grabbed me and was quite excited, "Hurry up, follow me." We've got him, we're going to catch him. ”

"Old man, what the hell is going on, you haven't told you half of the story yet!"

"I'll talk about it later!"

I was confused by Yun Dingxiang's crazy words, Ren Yonghai and Xu Yaxian were also confused, everyone stared at each other, and they didn't understand what he was talking about.

"There's no time, cart! Come with me and explain on the way. Yun Dingxiang stomped his feet and drew a "go" gesture.

I knew that there must be a shocking secret in this, so I held back my doubts, pushed the cart together, and followed Yun Dingxiang towards the mountain.

Qiangba couldn't help but mutter: "This bad old man can't see it, he runs in front alone, what if he takes the wrong way?" ”

Yun Dingxiang didn't seem to hear him speak, and still strode forward.

"Why don't I think this is reliable?" Ciwang lowered his voice and said to me, "Let's follow a bad old man with a history of mental illness to wander around the mountains and wilderness, if there is a ...... of mistakes."

"What else can I do if I don't follow him?" I shook my head, and I was helpless, "I'm just wondering, you guys should tell me what kind of blind bastard would come up with such a bad idea to toss people." Ah, the village is gone, and the delivery is still made to the ancestral hall, isn't there a ghost! ”

"But when I look at the old man, he seems to be confident. Does he know some hidden secrets, and the story just now is only halfway through the story, and we still don't know how the madman village disappeared. Ren Yonghai said.

"That's right," Ren Yonghai picked me up, and I remembered an important question.

The story Yun Dingxiang told me was all about what happened to the god team that night, and he didn't talk about the madman village at all, or he didn't tell me why the madman village became like this now.

"Although I have figured out how the madman village came about, according to him, this place is at most an extremely cruel 'nursing home', and now there is no one left, so the old people will not be hung up collectively." The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, "This old and unscrupulous person was almost fooled by him." ”

I handed over the car to Ren Yonghai, chased forward, brewed my feelings for a while, and then asked Yun Dingxiang, saying, "I haven't finished talking yet, what happened later?" ”

Yun Dingxiang is getting old in the end, and it is inevitable that he will take some breath when he walks faster. I stretched out my hand to help him, but he blocked me with his backhand: "Don't get in the way, let's not stop, let's walk for a while." I knew he was behind the scenes, and I wouldn't let him succeed this time. ”

"Who? Could it be that there are other survivors in the village of madmen? ”

"You really want to know?"

"It's not nonsense."

"It's not that I don't say it, but I'm afraid that if I say it, you won't believe it."

"Haven't there been enough strange things in these years, since you know what I do, what other strange things in this world I can't believe?"

Yun Dingxiang groaned for a while, stretched out his hand, and I hurriedly stepped forward to support him. He cleared his throat and said, "I was hesitant about Yun Ding'e saving people at the time, after all, the scene at that time was obvious to everyone, and it was definitely not something that this kid could do on his own. ”

"So what?"

After that, I left the remaining three people in the ancestral hall and ordered them to lock the gate and find a ferry back to the village after dawn. Then he and Yun Ding'e carried the rice bag master and Xiaoya back to the village. It was already midnight, and the noise and commotion resounded throughout the village, and before we entered the village, torches were lit inside, which immediately attracted the village soldiers. At that time, fierce dogs like Yu'er were all over the village, and there were one to more than one in every household. The dog in the village soldiers is even more fierce, and he can eat half a cow's head in one bite. I was afraid that they would let the dogs hurt people, so I had to stop the boat on the lake and shout at the soldiers. The other party didn't believe what I said at first, everyone knew that today was a big day, Wu went to Dagu Mountain with the offerings early, and he could only come back if he got Ming'er. I was so anxious that I almost took out the leader of the team and beat him up on the spot. By the time I finally figured out who I was, it was almost dawn. ”

"Everyone carried the rice bag master and Xiao Ya into the village in a panic, Xiao Ya's master is called Sanniang, is the previous generation of witches, when she saw the apprentice come back at this hour, she knew that something was wrong, she beckoned someone to carry Xiao Ya into the house, and then summoned me and Yun Ding'e to a secluded place to ask the whole story."

Sanniang said that the sacrifice was related to the prosperity of the entire Heiyun Village, and if it was not handled well, it would be a big mess, so she ordered Yun Ding'e to immediately return to Dagu Mountain and bring back the Soul Suppression Pagoda and the others in the god team. In order to prevent accidents, he sent a team of soldiers to accompany him. ”

"Why don't you go?"

Yun Dingxiang shook his head and said, "It's not that Yun Ding'e kid who is responsible, how do you know that this sin is so big." ”

"Could it be that there is another secret reason why you were condemned by the clan?"

Yun Dingxiang nodded and said, "When Yun Ding'e finally rushed back to the ancestral hall on Dagu Mountain with his people, he found that the door of the ancestral hall was wide open, the tablets were broken all over the ground, and the house was empty, not to mention the Soul Suppression Pagoda. When Yun Dingxiang learned about this, the whole person was almost fainting, he couldn't believe it, it was only four or five hours, and everything had become unrecognizable.

"I knew that I had run into a catastrophe this time, so I had someone tie me up and go to the patriarch to plead guilty. Since then, the way the big guys look at me has changed, and the older ones call me a mourning star, and some people even offer to take me to worship my ancestors to vent their anger. Anyway, overnight, everything changed...... It's changed. ”

"I see, in this way, you have fallen here, not only because you are guilty of the crime for Yunding, but more seriously because the Soul Suppression Pagoda was lost?"

Speaking of this, Yun Dingxiang suddenly stopped, and I was listening to it, and I didn't know why he stopped.

Yun Dingxiang twitched his nose and asked me, "Do you see the hillside ahead?" ”

I looked into the distance, and there was indeed a steep slope at the end of the mountain forest about 100 meters away from us.

"The ancestral hall is there, and our road is almost at the end. Don't be surprised when you see you later, I didn't lie to you. ”

I said in my heart that it was just an ancestral hall, what is there to make a fuss about, how can it be involved in deceiving or not. When he talked about the place, we naturally understood, and it was inconvenient for me to ask more, as I seemed to have no depth.

By this time, the first rays of the morning had already crossed the mountain, and I beckoned everyone to work hard to get things there before sunrise.

Soon we climbed to the top, originally thought that this mysterious Heiyunzhai ancestral hall would be an ancient building, but when I really got there, it was my turn to be dumbfounded, "This is the ancestral hall?" ”

I looked around and saw that it was just a cave. There are indeed traces of human activity in the cave, and there are caves in the dark walls, and there are still traces of burning wax and oil.

"What?"

Yun Dingxiang said: "It seems that if you don't explain the things of the year clearly, you won't understand." ”

I walked around the long black cave several times, reached out my fingers, touched the walls, and asked, "What is the secret of this ancestral hall?" ”
