Chapter 5 Night Sacrifice, Dragon Crown
Muhe Town, 300 miles southeast of Bancheng City, is already in Quy Nhon County, deep in Bashan.
Yangshan Village, 20 miles south of Muhe Town, belongs to one of the few grain-producing areas in Muhe Town, and on both sides of the Muyang River, layers of terraced fields can be seen everywhere. There is a large tributary in the village, named Dahu Creek, along the Dahu Creek to the inner mountain valley of nearly fifteen miles, it is called Dahu Ditch. Dahugou was originally a small group in Yangshan Village, but with the relocation policy and a great change a year ago, it is now completely gone. And because what happened last year was so strange and shocking, the villagers of Yangshan Village easily decided not to go to the tiger ditch.
On the night of May 2, the moon in Yangshan Village was scarce.
In a valley in the Tiger Gully, two miles up the steep mountain road from the mouth of the valley, there is a slightly flat mountain, surrounded by tall cedar trees to cover the sky, and the mountain under the moon is shrouded in gloomy. And the dozen or so tombs that seemed dense were all desolate.
In the dim valley, with the sound of trampling on dead branches and leaves, the bright light of a flashlight flashed, and two young men and women carried a large bag of worship supplies to the mountain. The two of them did not speak, quietly cleaning one grave after another, burning incense, burning paper money, and finally, the two came to a tombstone in the bottom row, and paused for a while before they began to repeat the previous action.
In the light of the fire, the woman was already teary-stained, and sobs were heard. When she was young, the woman wiped her tears and said to the tombstone:
"It's not a New Year's holiday, but we both have to come because ...... Because the two of us are going to get married the day after tomorrow...... I've liked you for so many years, and then in the end I'm going to marry someone else...... Actually, he's not someone else, you see, yes, it's a straight...... After that, I don't like you anymore...... You'll bless us, won't you......"
The woman's sobs seemed to be mixed with laughter...... After a pause, the man patted the woman's back, sighed heavily, and said:
"Boss, although you are younger than me, I still call you Boss the same as before...... You know, I've loved plums since I was a kid, and she's always been ...... I thought you two would ...... Speaking of which, if you hadn't left, how could I have fulfilled my dream of Junko. Boss, I'm not unjust, after all, you've ...... In the past, you were my only relative, and in the future, you will be a relative of our family, and my brothers can't help with anything else, but I will take care of your cemetery...... Don't worry, I'll take care of Meizi, definitely better than you do to her...... It's just that you can't attend our wedding...... You know, I wish you could be on our big day......"
The man's tears finally burst out of his eyes......
In the shadows not far away, a figure also rubbed his sour eyes, and when Shunzi and Meizi left, he showed his figure, it was Chen Muyan!
Plum and Junko are both his hair small, and many memories of childhood and adolescence are woven by the three of them.
I still remember that in the summer of that year, he and Junko smashed fish with a hammer in the river together, and went down the river, and saw Meizi swimming in the river not far away......
I still remember that in the autumn of that day, Shunzi stole a chicken from Du Laoer's house, called him and Meizi, and went to no one to barbecue. was caught by Du's second daughter-in-law when he heard the news, and that night, he was beaten by his father, and finally his mother said that it was impossible for his son to do things like stealing chickens and dogs, so he stopped his father and gave up......
I still remember that in school, Meizi would often take out snacks such as fried soybeans and fried melon seeds from his pocket for him, which made his classmates envious. When they go to and from school, the two also walk together from time to time......
I still remember that on the big stone by the Muyang River, he and Shunzi sat on it, and he shook his head like an old master and told Shunzi what he learned from his father: "The so-called heaven...... What is the ...... There are three outlines and five constants in ethics. The Five Constants -- Benevolence, Righteousness, Courtesy, Wisdom, and Faith! The Benevolence -- Everyone is Virtuous! The Righteous -- They are the heart of shame and the spirit of righteousness, so they are called righteous ......."
The Shunzi on the side listened to him intently, asking from time to time...... And he always enjoys the worship of Junko......
That year, the ice blade in Meizi's eyes was still in his heart! That year, Meizi's confession and loss broke Chen Muyan's heart...... At that time, he already knew that he couldn't give Meizi the emotional destination she wanted......
Now that they are out of their lives, it is indeed a beautiful thing that the two of them can come together!
In the distance, the bright light of the flashlight was still faintly visible, Chen Muyan smiled with a smile, laughing from the bottom of his heart!
When the light was gone, he turned and knelt before the graves, and then knelt down in front of a joint tombstone, where his parents were buried, and it took a long time for him to get up and leave with difficulty......
......
Chen Muyan said goodbye to Lu Feng this time and hurried back to Yangshan Village. He wanted to find someone, he was going to pay homage to his deceased relatives, and he was looking for spiritual objects to heal his soul. The person he was looking for was not there, and after the worship, he hid his figure and went straight to the Tonglong Crown twenty miles away.
There have been some mysterious legends about the dragon crown, but it does not involve the secrets of ancient times. Perhaps out of awe of the unknown, very few of the villagers have gone up, but Chen Muyan's inheritance was obtained from Tonglongguan Mountain. Last year, it was the monster in the mountain that appeared, and he was drawn three hundred miles away, and now he is still alive because of the monster, others think that he was eaten by the monster, and the troubles of the past have come to an end, otherwise, in the last year, he must have been gone!
He knew that he must not show his face in Yangshan Village, otherwise, the crisis would definitely appear immediately. And the great power of the monster that was born last year, as well as the shock brought by the monster's ascension, Chen Muyan didn't believe that the relevant departments or relevant people didn't pay attention to it. Therefore, he has been walking day and night.
The Black Dragon Pond near the top of the mountain was the place where the monster was born last year, and he must have someone secretly spying on it, so he walked to the entrance of the stone chamber on the mountainside, and climbed from the cliff to the entrance with both hands and feet, but he was shocked-
When he left the stone room, he not only sealed it with stones, but also camouflaged it with soil and dead leaves, but now, the entrance of the cave was opened, Chen Muyan was annoyed, and a voice floated out of the cave, he hurriedly held his breath and hid his body, and in a moment, two figures walked out of the entrance of the cave - two people were wearing Taoist robes and standing tall in a bun, one was thin and tall, and the other was slightly shorter, and it could be seen that they were both men.
"Hey, it's gone for nothing!" The tall and thin man exhaled outside the cave and said in a loud voice: "Senior brother, did you say that the treasure in the stone chamber was eaten by the monster last year?"
"Maybe! This place has been locked off by the relevant departments for more than a year, and it has just been evacuated in the past few days, even if there were any treasures left, they have already been looted!" The shorter man paused, and then said: "Let's leave quickly, I always feel uncomfortable here! Maybe when the monster will be born again!"
"Senior brother, didn't the news say that the two monsters were gone last year?" asked the tall and thin man.
"You don't know? What have you seen in the Scripture Building? Have you been thinking about how to serve your uncle all day long, and you don't care about the rest?" The shorter man's eyes slanted, and he said with some mockery.
At that moment, there seemed to be a strange light flashing in the darkness in the eyes of the tall and thin man, but it disappeared only for a moment.
The shorter man shook his head, sighed, and said: "According to the records in the palace, dragons love to be sexual, wherever there are male dragon salamanders, there are at least two female dragon salamanders, and only one male and one female left last year, think about it, is there any?"
"Really?" the tall and thin man put on a teachable expression and asked again, "Then why did the relevant departments withdraw? Don't they want the demon pill?"
"Confused!" The middle-aged man said proudly: "My Miaoxian Palace has a long heritage, how can the relevant departments or those three or two loose cultivators who have the identity of Keqing be compared? Such a secret, except for my Miaoxian Palace and some hidden world sects, who can know? Let's go, let's go back as soon as possible, report the situation here, don't be preempted by other sects!"
Chen Muyan, who was hiding in the dark, was shocked--monsters, there was actually at least one more! In shock, he felt his breath tremble--broken-
The tall and thin man who was listening to his senior brother's teachings instantly noticed the fluctuation of his breath, he looked around, sensed it with his breath for a while, and said, "Senior brother, wait, it seems that there is someone?"
The shorter man frowned, and as he sensed it, his face became solemn, and he shouted in the direction where Chen Muyan was hiding: "Come out!"
