Chapter 294: Niangzi Ridge
Fortunately, nothing happened until we left the mountain.
There were no surprises because of the appearance of this dog.
Everything was quite calm.
During this period, Zhang Mingyu gave the dog a name and named it Tai Chi.
I asked Zhang Mingyu why he gave it such a name, and Zhang Mingyu only said that because its hair and the two points of black and white were like the yin and yang of Taoism, he thought of giving it this name.
Everything seemed so natural.
After choosing a name for Tai Chi, Zhang Mingyu urged me to eat the Soul Rejuvenation Herb.
The consumption of the Soul Restoration Grass is also very simple, chew it in your mouth and swallow it.
After eating the Soul Rejuvenation Grass, I also clearly felt the changes in my body, and the weakness that had always existed after experiencing the soul leaving the body had also been reduced a lot, although it was still there, but it was indeed a lot better, but it was not completely better.
If you want to be completely good, you still have to wait until you find the fourth Zhen Ling coffin.
And this trip to the River of the Dead can be regarded as a thrilling past, but I always feel that I will come here again soon, soon.
But as soon as this feeling appeared, I forcibly left it behind.
Because I can't think of any more reason I'll come to such a ghost place.
After thinking for a while, I asked Zhang Mingyu, "It should be Niangziling below." ”
"How much do you know about Niangziling?"
Zhang Mingyu thought for a while and said, "I really don't know much about Niangziling. ”
"I only know that the reason why Niangziling is called this is because there is a Niangzi Temple there."
"Niangzi Temple?" I'm a little confused.
Liu Shan suddenly spoke: "I know. ”
"I've heard of it too."
"It is said that there is a statue of a god enshrined in the Niangzi Temple, and all single men who pray to the statue can marry a wife the next day, so it is named Niangziling after the Niangzi Temple."
I was a little surprised.
Zhang Mingyu nodded and said, "There is indeed such a saying. ”
"But I don't know the specifics, nothing has happened there, and we have only heard of it in Tianshi Mountain, and we haven't checked it."
"But we have to be careful."
Zhang Mingyu said seriously: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." ”
I nodded.
I know what Zhang Mingyu means.
However, I was a little disappointed by this information, because it was not useful, but I also agreed with Zhang Mingyu.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
What's more, this route has something to do with Li Bowen.
Although this route is also a choice we made after some deliberation.
And the next few days were quiet.
We stopped and stopped all the way, but it was also very stable, and it was originally estimated that it would take more than a week to get to Niangziling, but in less than a week, we arrived at the village near Niangziling.
The name of the village is Niangzi Village, which is just one word different from Niang'er Village, but the situation is completely different.
In my mind, Niang'er Village is a dry village, and although there are all kinds of signs that may not be true, at least in my eyes.
Different from the deserted Niang'er Village, Niangzi Village is very lively, although the population is not large, there are only about 100 households in total, but the whole village gives people the feeling of living and working in peace and contentment, and everyone has a smile on their faces.
The only thing that is a little strange is that there are only men in the village, not a single woman has been seen, and we only learned after asking that the women in this village were all begged by Niangziling, so they can only stay at home after marrying here, and cannot go out to show their faces, as for the reason, it is unknown.
And when we arrived, there was a festival being held in Niangzi Village.
About the sacrifice of the Niangzi Temple.
It is also for this reason that we cannot directly leave Niangzi Village and enter Niangzi Ridge, because the entrance to Niangzi Ridge is temporarily closed by the villagers of Niangzi Village.
In short, I just can't get by.
There is no way, we can only choose to settle in Niangzi Village for the time being.
Fortunately, the people in Niangzi Village knew the reason and were very enthusiastic to prepare a place for us to stay.
In this way, we stayed in Niangzi Village for the time being.
If it's in normal times, this is also a good thing for us, after all, after a few days of travel, not to mention tiredness, it must be fake, especially Liu Shan, who can be said to be the most tired among us, so after hearing that we can stay and rest, our eyes are worth it.
But this time I couldn't be happier.
Because this is Niangzi Village.
Backed by Niangzi Ridge.
And Niangziling is one of the two special places to go to Batong Village.
In the evening, the festival of Niangzi Village also begins.
The entire Niangzi Village gathered at the entrance of the village.
At the head were three men, each holding a red cloth in their hands, and the people of Niangzi Village behind them looked pious, as if they were praying for something, and walked towards Niangziling step by step.
When the three of us heard the movement, we followed them and watched.
Liu Shan looked curious.
"What does this sacrifice do?"
"Why do those three look like the groom?"
Hearing Liu Shan's words, Zhang Mingyu and I looked over at the same time, and I also felt a little strange at this look, because the three people who walked in front were dressed really strangely, similar to what I wore when I was forced to marry by the old smoker in Niang'er Village, which was obviously the clothes of the groom official.
"According to the custom of Niangzi Village, this sacrifice may be held for the three of them, the purpose is to marry a wife for them in Niangzi Ridge." Zhang Mingyu thought for a while and said.
Liu Shan was stunned, but still puzzled: "Is there really such a spirit?" ”
I smiled and said, "Then who knows, you go and ask?" ”
Liu Shan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Then forget it, it's none of our business anyway, let's go back and rest, and when their sacrifice is over, we should be able to leave here." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Shan glanced at Zhang Mingyu.
Hearing this, I laughed and teased: "Didn't Li Bowen let you do anything?" ”
Liu Shan said helplessly: "I have already told you what Daochang Li said, and I don't think anything strange will happen here, it's just a sacrifice, there can't be ghosts, right?" ”
After speaking, Liu Shan turned around and went back.
Zhang Mingyu and I looked at each other for a moment, and then I said, "Let's go back too, this sacrifice has nothing to do with us." ”
Zhang Mingyu shook his head.
"I always felt that this sacrifice was too coincidental."
"As soon as we came, they held a sacrifice."
I thought for a moment and said, "Do you think there's something wrong with this sacrifice?" ”
Zhang Mingyu shook his head and said, "I think there is a problem in this village." ”
I was stunned for a moment.
At the same time, he looked at the village behind him.
At this time, the whole village is lit up.
I could faintly see the figure through the candle flame in the room.
Those figures came from the women who had not appeared in this lady's village.
