Chapter 109: The Old Things Come Forward

At this moment, a coughing sound came from the far side of the passage, and I immediately raised my vigilance, and the big guys focused their eyes on the direction from which the sound came from.

Only Yun Dingxiang was very calm, and snorted coldly: "Yun Ding'e, you don't pretend to be a ghost inside, get out of here." ”

"Hahaha, Yun Dingxiang, I didn't expect you to be there."

The person who came was indeed the Yun Ding'e we had been looking for. I saw a gray-bearded old man wearing a soap robe walking out of the dark shadow, judging from the dress, he followed the characteristics of the Han official uniform, just like Yun Dingxiang.

However, it may be because of the different identities, this Yun Ding'e is dressed more gorgeously, with a jade belt around his waist, which looks a lot more luxurious. The earliest record of ancient men's use of jade belts can be found in Tang Dynasty documents. After that, the five dynasties, the Song Dynasty, the Liaojin, the Yuan and even the Ming Dynasty all popularized the jade belt. In the Ming Dynasty, the jade belt was stipulated as the highest grade: "Only those emperors, Yipin, dukes, marquis, uncles, concubines, or emperors can use jade belts." 10 jade leather belts were unearthed in Dingling, and 9 jade belts were unearthed from the tomb of King Liangzhuang in Hubei. It can be seen from this that the jade belt as a kind of belt shape, with jade ribbon became an institutionalized clothing in the Ming Dynasty, the same as the crown and hat of the court dress.

From this point of view, there are still many shadows of the Central Plains Dynasty in the customs of Heiyunzhai, and these Han people who migrated all the way here from the Central Plains thousands of years ago should be the landlords and the like.

The leather belt of the Ming Dynasty did not serve as a girdle as in the Tang and Song dynasties, but became a purely decorative utensil. The leather belt of the Ming Dynasty was tied but not tied, and only a thin rope was tied to the armpit and ribs. Its decoration is very obvious, making the wearer appear very luxurious and generous. Since the leather straps are not tied and only hang from the waist, sometimes they rise up to the chest and sometimes down to the abdomen, and in order to maintain balance, they must be held by hand. It presents a stable and majestic appearance of "flirting robe end belt". It is said that the jade belt of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was tied but not tied. When his jade belt is raised to his chest, it shows that he is in a good mood. Conversely, when his jade belt droops below his abdomen, it indicates that the emperor is going to be furious and even murderous.

Because of the high grade of the jade belt, it has become a pursuit. As is fashionable now, everyone wants a jade belt. Gradually, many people have jade belts. The hierarchical nature of the jade belt is less obvious.

The jade belts of the Tang and Song dynasties are mainly based on bas-relief patterns, such as the Hu people playing lions, the Hu people offering treasures, Gao Shitu or cloud dragon patterns. In the Yuan Dynasty, the hollowing technique developed to the jade belt, and double-layer hollow dragon patterns, flowers and plants began to appear. In the Ming Dynasty, the carving technique of the jade belt has been greatly improved compared with the previous generation, and the craftsmanship is complicated and delicate, with a single layer of high relief, a double-layer hollow carving and even a three-layer hollow carving for exquisite.

The decorative themes of the jade belt in the Ming Dynasty are diverse, which are divided into Rui beasts, human figures, flowers and plants, and auspicious language. The theme of the jade belt in the Ming Dynasty is divided into six categories, namely, dragons, flying dragons, unicorns and other animal patterns, lions, horses, camels, deer and other animal patterns, cranes, flowers and birds and other bird patterns, flower patterns, character patterns (such as infant play, Coats, etc.), and text patterns (such as happiness, longevity, etc.).

"I said that you came alone when the goods were handed over, why did so many people come?" Yun Ding'e came up and questioned Tenzin.

Tenzin was so afraid of Yun Ding'e that he hardly dared to breathe, and he didn't know how to answer: "I...... I ......"

Yun Ding'e Yi said angrily: "If you break the rules, I can't give you an antidote." ”

These words were undoubtedly announcing Tenzin's death sentence, which frightened him so much that his legs weakened and he knelt down directly. I looked at this Yunding big guy from the side, sneered, and said: "Master Yunzhai, you are amazing, you can decide the life and death of people with understatement, you haven't thought about it, because of your words, how many people will cry?" ”

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it is! Does Tenzin have nothing to do to eat, but he wants to come to your ghost place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back? Are you charging entrance fees to develop tourism or staying at a tourist mall? I went back directly, pointed to his nose and said, "Yun Ding'e, you are also a figure with a head and a face, why are you such a scoundrel?" Don't think I don't know about this in your Black Cloud Village, isn't it just a genetic disease? You have to believe in science, if it is a disease, we will be cured! ”

Yun Ding'e obviously didn't expect me to dare to talk to him like this, so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and almost swallowed me in one gulp.

"You...... Who are you! ”

"Me? Hehe, you can really do it, don't care who I am at this time, let's talk about the antidote, human life is at stake, what do you have to say, let's talk about it later! "I don't give him a good look, and continue to scare people.

Yun Ding'e was afraid that it was the first time he met someone who dared to talk to him like this, and he couldn't turn around for a while, he looked at me for a while, looked at Yun Dingxiang for a while, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Ren Yonghai on the side coughed and said: "Lord Yunzhai, we are watching so many people now, if people are really dead in a while, you are a murderer, even if this is your territory, are you sure that we will not be able to escape?" ”

After listening to Ren Yonghai's words, Yun Ding'e thought about it, although this old boy would not admit it so easily, but he obviously had some concerns in his heart, and after thinking about it again, he still decided to save Tenzin's life first.

I saw Yun Ding'e take out a small ceramic medicine bottle from his arms, take out three yellow pills from it, hand them to me, and said, "These three pills, take them three times in the morning, noon and evening, and you will be fine." ”

I saw that the old man was quite cooperative, so I took the pill and arranged for Tenzin to take it, so that he would not return to the west without paying attention, and it would save him from being frightened again.

To solve the antidote, the next thing is to settle accounts with Yun Ding'e, the old boy. There are so many of us in our group, but we are just waiting for this old boy to solve the mystery, and now that he finally appears, how can we let it go so easily?

Thinking about this, Yun Ding'e also knows that he was forced to this part by us, if we don't say one, two, three, we are not willing to give up, and it may cause other disasters - Uncle Ciwang because of his secret obstruction, this trip can be said to have suffered a lot of losses, he has to settle accounts, Yun Ding'e is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

"Master Yunzhai, you better tell us, what's going on?" I was the first to speak.

Yun Ding'e glanced at me, looked at Yun Dingxiang again, and said, "Didn't he tell you?" ”

Yun Dingxiang was naturally unmoved, and sneered: "I have already said everything I should say, and it is better for you to explain some things yourself!" ”

Yun Ding'e knew that the demolition of the rope bridge would turn the madman village into a miserable "desperate situation" that would sooner or later be made public, and he did not cover it up, and said: "That's right, I ordered to kill the old people in the village, I am the patriarch of Heiyun Village, I must be responsible for the people of the whole village, not to mention, since ancient times, there have been elderly people in Heiyun Village who have sacrificed themselves and fulfilled the fine traditions of future generations. ”

"It's the first time I've heard someone talk about killing people so justifiably." Xu Yaxian said indignantly.

"You're doing this just for the curse?"

Yun Ding'e looked at me in surprise, and after a long while, he said: "Since you said the curse, then I might as well say it directly, there is a distant legend about the curse of Heiyun Village, if you listen to this legend, you will know what is going on?" ”

When he said this, everyone cheered up, and I asked, "Then you tell the truth." ”

"In Heiyun Village, there is only one surname, we are all surnamed Yun, in the end, the whole village is one family." Yun Ding'e said, "The Yun family was originally a nobleman in the Central Plains, and the migration of the family occurred more than 2,000 years ago during the Warring States Period, when the princes were fighting, and the family embarked on the road of migration in order to avoid the war. At that time, there was a young grandmother in the Yun family, who was already pregnant, and when the migration team came to this Hengduan Mountain Range, an accident occurred on the way. ”

"Accident?" I wondered, "What happened on the way?" ”

Yun Ding'e only replied with two words: "Zombie!" ”

"Zombies?" I was amazed to hear this answer.

Yun Ding'e continued: "The zombies attacked the migration brigade, killing and injuring most of the family, and in the end, only the young grandmother and the few tribesmen remained. ”

"What does this story have to do with the curse?"

"That's when the curse was planted." Yun Ding'e sighed and said, "You don't know, of course, even the clansmen of Heiyun Village know only a very few of them, and even the patriarchs only know one or two, let alone him!" ”

Yun Ding'e said to Yun Dingxiang very contemptuously.

"You don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, if I hadn't carried the black cauldron for you, would you be the patriarch?" Yun Dingxiang sneered.

"Your two long-cherished wishes will have a chance to solve them in the future, let's get down to business first!" Ren Yonghai urged.

Yun Ding'e had to continue to return to the topic of the story.

At that time, the young grandmother was already pregnant, and the zombie suddenly came out, and the clansmen were killed and injured, and even the young grandmother was not spared and was bitten by the zombie. Just when it was in danger, a Taoist priest happened to pass by, and when he saw the zombie hurting people, he immediately stopped it and killed the zombie. ”

"Oh?" This story is not a clever story, it doesn't sound special, and even the story is a bit old-fashioned, just when I wanted to ask, Yun Ding'e told another secret.

But it was this humble place that made me overlook an important clue.

"It stands to reason that if you don't die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing in the future, but God deliberately tricked her, and the young grandmother survived the catastrophe, but after the young grandmother survived, the bad luck had just begun. The young grandmother was bitten by a zombie and was already pregnant with Liujia, the Taoist priest was dying when she rescued her, out of motherhood, the young grandmother insisted on asking the Taoist priest to save her child, the Taoist priest couldn't bear it, and saved the mother and son. After peace, the young grandmother gave birth to a baby boy, but the Taoist priest said that if the baby boy lived, it might become a disaster in the future. ”

"Could it be that the corpse poison has invaded the baby's body?"

Yun Ding'e nodded and said, "Yes, the zombie's venom entered the baby's body along the umbilical cord and merged into his blood, so it has been accompanied by the erosion of corpse poison since he was born. ”

"Is this genetic?" Xu Yaxian on the side said with a confused expression.
