Chapter 67: The Mystery of the Truth!
Two years ago, Liu Fangfang fell into the water and died. In her last memory, Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info was choked by water at first, and at the same time she was wet and cold, and then she only felt cold, and the surrounding was as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Later, she saw her body floating in the water, her eyes wide open, and her long hair fluttering in the water like algae.
Liu Fangfang no longer felt cold. The sun shines on the water overhead, creating bright lines of light that shine through the lake. In times of desperation, she longed for air and sunshine so much, but now, she had only a deep fear of the light.
"I'm dead. A thought popped up, but Liu Fangfang only felt peace of mind, as if she was telling someone else's story. The water was slow and powerful, and Fang seemed to have a will of its own, driving her and her body to slowly fall to the bottom of the lake. She then saw her body stuck under a boulder, and then her body was swept into a dark cavern by the undercurrent. And she herself is still falling.
was brought to the bottom of the lake by the undercurrent all the way, and I don't know how long it took for Liu Fangfang to slowly wake up and understand that she would never be able to see her relatives again. Finding that she could float freely in the water, Liu Fangfang was so curious that she even forgot the sorrow of death and the pain of missing her relatives.
Shortly after floating at the bottom of the lake, Liu Fangfang found a huge stone monument sunk into the silt. Curious, Liu Fangfang cleaned up the debris covering the surface of the stele and carefully studied the contents engraved on the stele. The results of the study frightened Liu Fangfang's face and frightened.
It turns out that what is recorded on the stele is the village rules of Hanquan Village in ancient times. The inscription clearly stipulates that the village of Hanquan Village shall not exceed 100 households, and the population shall not exceed 500. Outside the village, anode wood should be widely planted. There is also a special description on the stone tablet that when the yang air is most abundant at noon in summer, a strong man can be sent to dive into the cold lake to salvage a special requiem stone in the lake. This type of stone is pitch black with milky white starlight, which can calm the soul. Whenever the cold spring erupts, the villagers need to carry bracelets made of this stone with them. Otherwise, there is a risk of extinction of the village.
Liu Fangfang thought about it carefully, and guessed that it must have been destroyed and sunk to the bottom of the lake when Hanquan Village was expanded. The inscription clearly states that the population of Hanquan Village shall not exceed 500.
The nearby land is fertile, and the quality of the abundant Yanggu is famous and irreplaceable. Every few years, the town has to move people into the village again to increase the number of strong laborers in the village in order to collect more annual food. In this way, how could the big people in the town, even the magnates of the imperial city who were far away in the sky, allow less than 100 households in Hanquan Village to grow crops? Anyway, Hanquan only erupts once every 30 years, and if the whole village dies, it is a big deal to move new people into the village.
After thinking about this, Liu Fangfang decided not to leave. According to the customs of the village, she is a dead person and a new ghost, and she should go to the mountains and forests near the Ghost King Temple to recuperate and wait, and join the army of hundreds of ghosts in the next Qingming Festival, and then go to the Ghost Gate Pass to reincarnate together. But she was concerned about her father and brother, and the next time the cold spring erupted would probably be when her father and brother died, and she couldn't just walk away regardless of the life or death of her father and brother.
Liu Fangfang began to collect the requiem stone at the bottom of the cold lake. Unfortunately, the small pieces of requiem stones near the shore were mined a long time ago. And the requiem stones in the depths of the lake are too huge. She searched for a long time before finally finding a palm-sized requiem stone that could be transported out of the water with her meager soul power.
After that, there was a long wait. Occasionally, Liu Fangfang couldn't help but miss her relatives, and would wander outside the house in the middle of the night to take a look at her sleeping father from afar. Once I happened to meet the widow Qian, so I frightened her by the way, but I didn't expect that since then, the news that Liu Fangfang has become a ghost has spread in the village.
Sometimes Carpenter Liu leaves his soul in a dream, and he will also wander around the lake sadly driven by the obsession of missing his daughter. It's just that Carpenter Liu's ghost is unconscious, and Liu Fangfang can only see her father from afar, and she can't recognize her relatives at all. What Xin Yue, the soul clone, saw at the entrance of the village the night before was the scene where Carpenter Liu left his soul and met Liu Fangfang.
Cheng Ziming listened to Liu Fangfang's narration with great patience, and had a rough inference about all the causes and effects in Hanquan Village in his heart. Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the source of all blessings and misfortunes in Cold Spring Village, the source of all happiness and disasters, is this cold spring.
Cold spring water can irrigate the Yang Valley and grow nourishing food that cannot be replaced. The cold spring water erupts every thirty years, and the mist inside it can lure the villagers away. In order to prevent the villagers from leaving the soul and causing harm, first, use anode wood to isolate the cold spring and prevent the detached yin soul from approaching the cold spring. At the same time, foreign immortal masters were recruited to guard the Hanquan Pavilion, and in order to prevent the immortal master from escaping, I don't know which ghost who lacked virtue designed and built an iron pavilion full of formations outside the wooden pavilion, so that once the immortal master was locked in the iron pavilion, he was bound to live and die with the wooden pavilion, so he had to obediently guard the wooden pavilion.
The second is to control the population of Cold Spring Village, if the population in the village is too large, then the Yin Spirits attracted by the Yin Mist of Cold Spring will exceed the limit of the defense of the Anode Wood Pavilion. It's a pity that as the stele was sunk to the bottom of the lake, there was nothing to restrain the population of Hanquan Village, and there were more and more villagers, forming the current situation of thousands of Yin Spirits besieging Hanquan Pavilion.
As for the requiem stone, it should also be a good way to prevent the yin soul from leaving the body. Unfortunately, this stone sinks to the bottom of the lake and is not easy to mine. Moreover, the effect of this stone has also sunk into the cold lake along with the stone tablet. If Liu Fangfang hadn't accidentally fallen into the water and died, and the ghost was swept into the bottom of the lake by the undercurrent, I am afraid that this secret would have slept at the bottom of the lake forever.
Thinking of the cause of Liu Fangfang's death, Cheng Ziming suddenly remembered the rumors in the village, and couldn't help asking: "According to what Liniang said, you should have been pushed into the water by the village chief's son?"
"He wants to insult the little girl, but the little girl will not obey. Under the struggle, somehow, the little girl fell into the water. Liu Fangfang sighed, raised her hand and pointed at the little stunned man and said, "It was this kid who tricked me into going to the lake." He said that his father had broken his foot in the field, and his brother was called by the village chief to help, and there was no manpower around him, so he told the little girl to go to the cold lake to fetch half a bucket of cold water to compress his father's feet, otherwise I am afraid that he will not be able to walk tomorrow. The little girl believed it, and when she arrived at the lake, she found that it was the eldest prince who had bought the child. So the little girl scared his mother after she became a ghost, which is not too much. ”
"In this way, the rumors in the village are wrong, you have no resentment in your heart, and you are obviously not a ghost. Cheng Ziming paused and asked strangely: "But as a ghost, isn't the cold spring and mist attractive to you?"
