Chapter 8: The Forbidden Land of the God of War
Aunt Xia looked at Lu Qiqi fixedly, that look was definitely not the eyes of a new acquaintance, and that look seemed to contain a thousand words.
Lu Qiqi looked at Aunt Xia's eyes a little confused.
Aunt Xia knows her! A strange thought sprung up in her head.
“…… 7. ,......, Finally ...... Wait...... You're up!" Aunt Xia suddenly muttered in a low voice.
"Huh? Grandma, what? What did you say? Wait for me? What do you mean? Lu Qiqi was a little surprised, she seemed to hear Aunt Xia calling her name.
She was sure that she had never known Aunt Xia in her life, how could she hear the meaning of Aunt Xia's words, and it seemed that she had known her for a long time? Is this waiting for her?
Could it be that Aunt Xia is insane and recognizes the wrong person?
Lu Qiqi shouted to Aunt Xia, wanting her to say something more, so that she could have more basis for guessing.
Aunt Xia didn't say another word, her eyelids drooped, her energy was very bad, and her whole body exuded an aura of decadence, like an old tree that was about to die, and it was overdrawing the last bit of vitality.
Although Lu Qiqi had doubts, he was embarrassed to continue to ask an old man who was dying.
"Grandma, I'm Qiqi, wake up, let's drink soup to make up for it!"
Lu Qiqi scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoon and fed it to Aunt Xia's mouth.
Aunt Xia, who had drunk a few sips of fish soup, seemed to have gained some energy and began to babble.
"Saved! ......, now it's saved! ......, Ayu ......, you ...... again Wait a minute! …… Seven......, come...... Finish! …… Demonic ,......。 ”
Aunt Xia's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she couldn't hear what she was saying at all, no matter how Lu Qiqi called her, she didn't respond, and fell into a coma completely, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Lu Qiqi was confused, Aunt Xia was old and dizzy, her head was not clear, and she was regarded as another person? What is the other one called Seven?
Aunt Xia's intermittent words made Lu Qiqi feel furious when she heard it, she didn't hear what Aunt Xia was talking about, but she vaguely felt that there might be some connection with herself, but unfortunately Aunt Xia's condition did not allow her to continue to inquire at all.
"It seems that Grandma is not very good! Little Wu, haven't you found out what kind of illness Grandma has?"
"Sorry, host! The functions of Aunt Xia's body have been exhausted, and the energy particles in her body are close to withering, and she is powerless to return to the sky! ”
Phantom Five's immature voice was a little deflated, it compared the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign diseases in its system, and was stunned to find no cases with similar symptoms to Aunt Xia.
"Seventy-seven!" Lu Liang walked in from outside, "What's wrong with Aunt Xia?" ”
Lu Qiqi looked up at him and shook his head.
"Hey, not so much! I can't even drink a few sips of soup! ”
"Qiqi, Aunt Xia is a strange person."
Lu Qiqi looked up at him suspiciously, then bent down to help Aunt Xia cover the blanket, led Lu Liang out of the room, walked to the stone table outside, and sat down before asking, "Why do you say that?"
Lu Liang took a sip of the tea that Lu Qiqi handed him, and said in a low voice: "My grandmother said when she was alive that Aunt Xia is not from our village, and no one can say clearly how she came here, it seems that she appeared out of thin air and is here, anyway, it is very weird." Moreover, on the day she appeared, there was a vision in the Tomb of the God of War, and the whole day was shrouded in blood, and the people in the village were terrified. She has lived here alone for many years, rarely has contact with people, usually in addition to all kinds of vegetables is to go to the mountains, everyone thinks she is strange, my grandmother said, every Midyear Festival, every family is closed, for fear of being captured by monsters, but Aunt Xia went the opposite, actually went into the mountain alone, and then came back from the mountains with a pale face after dawn, and each time she had to be sick for ten days and a half months before she came back to her senses a little. My grandmother has always said that Aunt Xia is not an ordinary person, so let me not provoke Aunt Xia if I have nothing to do!"
"The Tomb of the God of War? Is it in the mountains in the distance? Lu Qiqi walked to the gate of the courtyard and fell into deep thought at the hazy mountain in the distance.
"That's right, my grandmother said that in the Netherworld Mountain in front, there is a burial of our god of war in Zhongzhu Kingdom, Xia Liang to Xiahou Ye, but ......."
Lu Liang wanted to speak and stopped.
Lu Qiqi couldn't hear Lu Liang's words, he was a little surprised, and turned his head to look at him with a questioning face.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Liang paused, gritted his teeth, and said, "This Netherworld Mountain is very weird. Really, I heard my grandmother say that Uncle He went into the mountains to hunt, but he fell and injured himself, missed the time to go down the mountain, and had no choice but to spend the night in the mountains, and it happened that day was the Midyear Festival, and when the big guy found the injured Uncle He the next day, he was already crazy, saying that he saw his dead mother-in-law in the mountains, and dragged her back, but we couldn't see the mother-in-law he said at all, and everyone said that Uncle He was evil. ”
"Impossible, how could the god of war bewitch people's minds and harm the villagers! There must be some other reason! ”
As soon as Lu Liang finished speaking, Lu Qiqi immediately frowned, and blurted out a rebuttal, which made Lu Liang notice something strange and looked at Lu Qiqi in surprise.
Lu Qiqi realized that he had overreacted and laughed dryly.
"Hehe, the gods of war should be heroes, since they are heroes, they are naturally standing up to the sky, how can they do those things that harm others, right!"
Lu Liang thought for a while, nodded, and continued: "That's right, but this Netherworld Mountain is indeed weird, and it's usually normal, but when it comes to the annual Midyear Festival, it looks very weird, like a ......, like a crazy beast, it keeps roaring, weird and scary." ”
Lu Qiqi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, although she didn't know why, but when she heard Lu Liang say this about the God of War Tomb, she always felt unhappy in her heart, and she herself felt that something was not right.
"What happened to Uncle Ho?" Lu Qiqi tried hard to suppress his inexplicable emotions, turned to Lu Liang and asked.
"Oh, Uncle He has been good and bad for a year or two, and finally he was found dead in bed with a smile on his face!"
Lu Liang saw Uncle He's appearance in front of him, and there was a fear in his heart, that year, he was only eight years old, he had never seen such a calm and calm death, the smile on Uncle He's face made people feel that he was just going out for a banquet.
But the more calm he was, the more frightened the people in the village became.
Only if you fall into the evil spirit, will you die at home with such a weird smile.
Later, there were a few people who did not believe in evil spirits, and on the day of the Midyear Festival, they marched into the mountains together, and they were killed one after another, although the methods of death were different, but without exception, they died with a smile on their faces, as if they were dreaming.
Since then, the Tomb of the God of War has become a taboo place for the people of the village, no one dares to set foot in it, and every newborn, from birth, has been ordered by the elders to prohibit it from approaching the Netherworld Mountain, let alone stepping into the mountain for half a step.
No one knows why Netherworld Mountain has become a ghost mountain that people talk about. And Aunt Xia, the only one who can enter the mountain, has also become the object of fear for the people in the village.
Over the years, Aunt Xia has been alone and has become a topic of conversation among the villagers after tea and dinner.
The grandmothers who have benefited from Lu Qiqi have already told her a few times, and each time they invite her to live at their house very vaguely, Lu Qiqi once thought that everyone was too enthusiastic, and was very moved to refuse.
Now it seems that they are probably afraid that she will fall for Aunt Xia's way, and they are embarrassed to say it directly, after all, Aunt Xia is already a dying person!
Lu Qiqi looked at the green mountains in the distance, and the unknown emotion in her heart was even worse, which made her panic.
"Nether Mountain? Mars? Xia Liangyu! ”
She read silently in her mouth without knowing it, and Lu Liang, who heard her murmuring, showed a slight surprise on her face.
He looked at Lu Qiqi, and then at the Netherworld Mountain not far away where the God of War Tomb was hidden, and pursed his lips.
In fact, the appearance of Lu Qiqi also caused everyone's panic for a time.
Yongle Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only way out of the mountain is a poisonous miasma that is 100 meters long, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter Yongle Village alive through the miasma.
And Lu Qiqi not only entered, but also unscathed, and the old people in the village thought she was the second Aunt Xia at first.
Knowing that Lu Qiqi had infected those old people with her extraordinary affinity, they let down their guard a little.
Later, Lu Qiqi led the younger brothers to catch fish and gave them precious salt, and they completely let down their guard.
After all, compared to the withdrawn and indifferent Aunt Xia, this Lu Qiqi is more like an ordinary little girl!
